Jax and Austin's amazing season of soccer!

All right boys!  Let's get going...

this was the first year that I have signed my kids up for any extracurricular activities and I'm so glad we waited and that this was the year.

Rio started dance in August and the boys we SO excited to start their first year at playing soccer.

Jax was #54 and Austin was #55.

Showin' off their numbers.

This was their first game and they couldn't wait to get started.

This was their coach, Coach Rachel.  They had a really fun team:

*Owen Stott, Owen Snow, Vera, Kaitlin and Emma*

(Yes, Rio was a little sad she wasn't playing too so she may play Spring with them).

Pictures just don't capture these cute boys and how well they did all season.

There was even one game where the other team was short players and they pulled Austin over to join them.  Honestly, they scored at least 4 or 5 goals each game!

Way to go Jax and Austin.

They are naturals; they must get it from me :)

Ha-ha...they are their daddy's boys, that's for sure.

These were at practice one night.

These two would just sit and play or watch the boys and were so good all the time.

Logan was even potty training during this time frame and he was awesome and I was so proud of him.

(Love Logan's face looking at Rio - isn't that sweet?)

Thanks cutie kids for being their biggest fans!

Austin was taking a break during the game and was giving Rio a play by play while they watched.

This game was on my mom's bday so I had to get a shot of them with their grandma.  She was a great supporter this season.

One night as the season progressed, it was getting darker and darker at their games so their cute coach brought them glow bracelets so we could see them :)

They all LOVED them so much!

Woo-hoo!

What a great season boys!

You guys did so awesome.

Jax, you were the best defensive player sweetie - you did not let anyone in that goal zone!  There was no way anyone could score on you!  You are a tough player.

Austin, what a great scorer you are!  I was so proud of you and how hard you worked with such accuracy to get the ball down the field.

I can't wait to see what you do next season!  Keep up the hard work boys!

Just havin' fun!

Our van light kept coming on and we needed a look at it so we all hoped in the car and took it in to get fixed and in the meantime, we got in the strollers and walked over to the 7-11 and got ourselves some Slurpee's.

Delicious!

Hanging out one morning with some of the kids favorite toys!

I just love these 4 boys so much!

What a lucky mommy I am.

You can't really see the paint super well but one day at preschool, the kids got to play with face paint.  They had a blast but Rio was not a fan of having the paint on her face when she saw it in the mirror so we had to immediately take it off! (Hence, the reason she isn't in these pics)

She's so funny.

Love all you cute kids!

Saying goodbye to the Posey's

Well, another family member moves on...

I'm so sad about it too and wish everyone would just stay here!!

But I'm happy that Jon found a great job and hopefully they can end up back here in Utah in a few years.

We went over and saw them before they left so we could say goodbye

This was their first place and it is so cute!

Awe..so sad.  They're both trying so hard to not cry - poor Bonnie - both her daughters are now moved away :(

Love cute Erin and I will miss her tons!

The triplets were so lucky to have Jon and Erin feed them for 9 months once a week and they got super close with them because of that.

Cute Cole and Cooper were at Jon's mom's house so we didn't get to see them before they left.

We love you Jon and Erin and will miss you tons!

Come back soon!

We're at it again...another beautiful hike!

We made it to a hike this year that we hadn't gone to before and it was beautiful.  I always love when there is a waterfall or something at the end of the hike to make it all worth it.

The kids loved this one too and of course, they did awesome!

Logan was a master by now and the triplets never cease to amaze.

The kids always find something fun to see.  Most of the way up, there was a river on one side and they all had to stop and take a peak.

Here's the second group to explore

Logan and Austin didn't want to leave - they love playing in the river!

We made it!

Beautiful waterfall to greet us

Roxy and I with my little Blake - he was such a trooper!  Love him.

The kids all had a blast playing in this little stream coming off the waterfall.

*Rio, Austin, Jax, Hunter and Avery*

LOOK!  I found gold!

Jax was so excited that he found this "gold" rock.

 Cute Logan was wading in the water.

I was so glad to be able to take all 5 kids with me this time.  I love doing these amazing things with them and to see what they are capable of and I hate feeling like someone is being left out.

Rox and I with Blake and Rio

I'm so glad for my awesome friends who love adventure and hiking as much as I do.

Oh Logan...I think he could live outdoors in the mountains and be a very happy little boy.

Beautiful isn't it?

Lia and Kaden were holding hands - so cute little siblings!

Heading back down was a little more hot for these kids but they still were amazing and didn't complain one bit!

So proud of all of you cute kids.

We were almost to the bottom and found this fun area to throw rocks and explore a little bit.

I think we captured all the kids in this pic

Bottom to Top -

Jax, Karson

Austin, Avery, Hunter

Reese, Kaden, Lucas, Lia, Rio

Yep!  All 12 of them.

Another cute shot of the kids by the bridge.

*These two are some of my very best friends and I just love them!  Thank goodness we had triplets so we could meet and become great friends!
